Chapter 1536: Chapter Twenty-Nine: Seeking Medical Help Chapter 1536: Chapter Twenty-Nine: Seeking Medical Help Kunwu Divine Mountain

The mountain path leading to the heavens was climbed by decently dressed seekers of medicine, their long legs like gamboling dragons winding through the rugged mountainous trajectory from halfway up the mountain straight to its base.

Even in the middle of the first month, the line hadn’t seemed to shorten–this was the entryway to the Hundred Herbs Immortal Mansion.

Holding the token given by Lu Xuening, Tang Luo was spared the agony of queuing and directly entered the inner sanctum of the sect, a place resembling a heavenly realm.

“So you’re the one with Sister Lu’s token?”

The boy who resembled a young Daoist scrutinized Tang Luo, stood on tiptoes to peer behind him, and, upon not seeing Lu Xuening, asked disappointedly, “Why hasn’t Sister Lu returned?”

“The chaos of the battle in Lingjiang has just subsided; Doctor Lu had to stay in Lanshan City to treat the people.”

Tang Luo answered impassively, “Please, little master, first take a look at the patient.”

“Master is master, why add ‘little’ to it? I am…”

The Dao Child was a bit annoyed by Tang Luo’s belittling attitude and subconsciously wanted to rebuke, but relented, “Fine, fine, let’s see the patient first.”

“Please take a look, master.”

Going with the flow, Tang Luo wasn’t concerned with the titles, and simply placed a specially designed bamboo chair down and moved the unconscious Tang Zhi onto the cold bed.

“Hmm? This person has been poisoned.”

The Dao Child leaned closer to Tang Zhi and from his sleeve flicked several iron wires around Tang Zhi’s wrist. After closing his eyes in deep thought for a moment, he calmly opened them, stood up, and retracted the iron wires.

“Go back and prepare for the worst.”

Having nonchalantly declared Tang Zhi’s condition, the Dao Child was about to leave.

“Master, please wait.”

The Heavenly Dragon’s Shadow lightly grazed the Dao Child’s shoulder, swirling him around to face himself.

With a somber voice, Tang Luo said, “If you are not confident in your ability to cure him, please call for another healer from your sect.”

“It’s no use calling someone else.”

The Dao Child said impatiently, “Explaining to you would be pointless. The poison can’t be cured!”

“Is it that it cannot be cured, or that you will not cure it?”

“What’s the difference?”

“Of course there’s a difference!”

Tang Luo stated flatly, “Cannot be cured means the Hundred Herbs Immortal Mansion is powerless, and thus I will take the patient elsewhere to find another way to live. Will not cure means the Hundred Herbs Immortal Mansion has concerns, whether resources or otherwise, yet as long as these concerns are addressed, a cure can be found. Therefore, I ask: is it that you cannot cure, or that you simply will not cure?”

“Hah, what arrogance!”

The rosy-cheeked Dao Child scoffed, “You talk as if you can resolve any condition presented to you!”

“So, it’s that you will not cure, not that you cannot cure, right?”

Tang Luo’s eyes gleamed as he smiled lightly, “Then please, little master, tell me why this poison will not be cured?”

“Ah, you’re such a nuisance!”

The annoyed Dao Child shot back, “Will not cure just means will not cure. Why do you need to know why?”

“Miraculous hands and a compassionate heart remove toxins and extinguish diseases, silver needles and herbs save the dying and assist the injured.”

Tang Luo inquired with a smile, “Has the code of the Hundred Herbs Immortal Mansion changed just in the time it took to come up the mountain?”

“Medicine does not cure destined illnesses, Buddhas save those with fate!”

The flushed-faced Dao Child retorted heatedly, “No one will treat victims of the Herbal Spirit Poison! Not just the Hundred Herbs Immortal Mansion but any faction built on martial medicinal practices–they all refuse to treat such patients!”

The declaration completely shut down any hope for treatment. Looking at the comatose Tang Zhi on the bed, who was on the verge of death,

Tang Luo thought of the Second Elder’s earnest request, and a blaze of anger ignited within him.

“You can only blame the Tang Clan of Longxi for committing so many evil deeds. What they planted yesterday, they are reaping today.”

The Dao Child sighed, “Just prepare for the worst for him!”

“One last question.”

Tang Luo spoke calmly, though his speech was a tad faster than usual, “Who poisoned him?”

The Dao Child looked at Tang Luo in surprise and asked, “Why do you ask that?”

Tang Luo’s expression was unreadable, “Murder for murder, debt for debt.”

“When will the cycle of vengeance end? Why bother with it?”

The Dao Child sighed, “If it’s revenge you seek, I most certainly will not tell you.”

“Heh, you need not say, for I already know. Capable of commanding such caution from the Hundred Herbs Immortal Mansion, and of having sects bow their heads, there exist but a few powers in the world.”

Tang Luo crossed his arms over his chest, standing proudly, “Known for their lethal poisons, only a handful of factions in the world fit the bill, and the Divine Armor worn by the poisoner is so distinctive–the power behind this is almost revealing itself…”

Hearing Tang Luo’s incisive analysis, the color drained from the Dao Child’s face.

“It’s the Beast-Taming Gu Sect’s Dao Child!”

“Nonsense, it’s the Heavenly Dragon Saint… ah…”

The overly attentive Dao Child hastily covered his mouth with his hands, but it was too late.

A murderous aura emanated from Tang Luo’s body, “So it was the Medicine God Sect who acted!”

“You tricked me into talking!”

The Dao Child, red-faced with shame and anger, exclaimed, “Did you think my silence was meant to harm you? The Medicine God Sect is one of the Superior Heavenly Sects of Zhongzhou, and the head of the medical field in Xiehe. Not to mention you, even the Void Grandmaster of the Tang Clan is insignificant compared to the Medicine God Sect, with its network of connections in Xiehe.”

Bowing deeply to the Dao Child, Tang Luo said solemnly, “Thank you for the information, little master. Tang Luo is very grateful, yet I humbly request one last thing!”

“…You… you… are Tang, no no no, the Void Grandmaster!?”

Upon hearing his own title, the Dao Child’s tongue got tied, and he flailed his hands in front of him comically, obviously flustered.

By now Lu Xiaotong knew he had caused a huge problem, terrified that the Void Grandmaster would descend upon the Medicine God Sect. If this precipitated a great battle and the Void Grandmaster was captured and questioned about the source of the information, indicating it spilled from his own lips, oh no!

“You can’t leave now!”

The Dao Child, who earlier seemed so mature, now clung to Tang Luo’s legs, sobbing uncontrollably!
